Backing up important data is something a lot of home users, and homeworkers,
fail to take seriously. Until, of course, they lose everything and have no way
of getting it back. In order to avoid such a calamitous event, consider some
form of backup
solution now.
Most of the leading backup packages cost between £30 and £50. A good solution will allow you to do full hard disk backups, as well as single files and folders, plus let you schedule backups of data that’s changed since the last full backup was executed. They should be easy to install and set up.
Backups should be easy to restore and retain the original file organisation.
Any solution should be able to write backups to your hard drive, external hard
drives
and blank CD/DVD disc.
